Enchanted

So close to believing
That you were the one
So close to believing
That my search was done

So close to wanting
A lifetime with you
So close to thinking 
My sad days were through

So close to hoping
That this wasn't the end
So close to wishing
That we could stay friends

Now I'm left with memories
Of a fairytale dream
And I'm finally realizing 
Things are not what they seem

It's rather ironic
When I look back and see
That "Enchanted" descibes plainly
What you did to me

So enchanted by your eyes
I fell for you then
And enchanted I was kept
Right up until the end

But now you're enchanted
By somebody new
And I'm left here to wonder
Why you won't see me through

You aren't the princess
I thought you to be
You aren't the woman
I thought was meant for me

So I'll get back on my horse
And ride into the sun
And I'll find my true princess
When my time is done

Good job. Keep up the great work. I hate when you think you have finally found the right one for you but then everything just falls apart, I had that happen to me twice. Keep writing!!! -Courtney-
